State Highway 5 (SH-5 orOK-5) is the name assigned to two distinctstate highways in theU.S state ofOklahoma. One runs for 20.42 miles (32.86 km)[1][2] through extreme southwestern Oklahoma, passing throughHarmon andJackson Counties. The other is 98.2 miles (158.0 km)[3] long and runs through southwest Oklahoma, connecting US-283 south of Altus to US-70 at Waurika.
The western SH-5 begins atU.S. Highway 62 inGould, Oklahoma and runs south until just pastLincoln, where it turns east. It then ends atState Highway 6 inEldorado, just seven miles (11 km) north of theTexas border.
The western SH-5 was once known as SH-90.
Both the now-separate western and eastern sections of SH-5 were formerly part of a continuous SH-5 across Southwest Oklahoma. From 1958 to 1969, SH-5 continued east from Eldorado over an unpaved roadway to a junction with US-283 east ofElmer, and then turned north on a route shared with US-283 to the current west terminus of the eastern SH-5 at its junction with US-283 south ofAltus and west ofTipton and continued east over the current eastern SH-5. The former Eldorado to Elmer section of SH-5 was removed from the state highway system in 1969 and continues in use as a county road under the jurisdiction of Jackson County.
The eastern SH-5 starts betweenAltus andElmer atUS-283. It heads east from here toTipton, where it turn south and SH-5C splits off. South of Tipton, SH-5 turns east again to intersectU.S. Highway 183 inFrederick. 19 miles (31 km) later, it has a two-mile (3.2 km)concurrency withState Highway 36. The highway splits off to the east from here, sharing a three-mile (4.8 km) concurrency withUS-277/281 and an interchange withInterstate 44 (which is also the Walters toll plaza of theH.E. Bailey Turnpike).
Five miles (8 km) east of where this three-route concurrency breaks up, SH-5 turns south inWalters, with the mainline being taken over byState Highway 53. SH-5 heads east again towardTemple, where it has a brief concurrency withState Highway 65, and then turns southeast to pass throughHastings before ending atUS-70 inWaurika.
SH-5 has three lettered spur routes.
